    Review: The Elder Scrolls IV Oblvion

    The Elder Scrolls IV Oblvion is an amazing RPG. It takes place cyrodiil, the capital province in the fictional land of Tamriel(The entire planet the series takes place on is Nirm if you want to go more to detail) It is on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.The land of Cyrodiil is huge... a little too huge. It's great that they made such a large area too explore, but most of it are just forests. Although the forests are different in every general area which is nice.

    Oblivion's gameplay is great. The combat feels realistic and intense. The only problem with it is that when you have allies you may hit them instead. Otherwise there are tons of magic spells you can learn which are set into catagories like destruction restoration etc. and you can even enchant your weapons and harvest plants and brew potions.Aside from cambat,harvesting and brewing you can do many other things like purchasing homes that you can customize and purchasing horses that you can rise. Or you can steal things. there are also 100s of hours of quests and thats not just the main quests. There are side quests you can get from citizens and there are guilds you can join.

    Oblivions graphics are amazing, simple as that. Everything is very detailed and the game has great real time shadows. The graphics still look great today. If I wrote this review back when this came out it would definatly score a 10/10.

    The game has an amazing soundtrack by Jeremy Soule. The voice actors did a great job the only problem is... there's not alot of voice actors, so your gonna be hearing tweo different people talking exactly the same. Also The sound effects are great too but I wish there was just a few more because when you swing your sword against a tree it sounds exactly the same as swinging it against the ground, but its not that bad and it doesn't effect the score at all. If there were more voice actors sound would have scored higher.

    The story is pretty good but it felt like it was over too quickly. But on the other hand there are tons of books to be read giving the game alot of lore. although its not as much as Morrowind.

      Enter Cyrodiil... after setting aside 200 hours of your time 0

      Oblivion is the fourth edition to the Elder Scrolls series, a franchise of role playing games developed by Bethesda that have risen to fame for allowing players to embark on an epic journey and become the character they want to become. Even years after its release, Oblivion is an amazing adventure full of surprises, mysteries, and interesting locations that one could easily spend up to 200 hours playing it .  That's not good, is it? The main quest line in Oblivion follows your character as he or...

          The first thing that strikes you when you start this game up is that it’s a pretty big one. Oblivion’s location of Cyrodiil is big... Huge. And not to mention diverse. Without the in-game map you’d almost definitely lose your bearings as soon as you so much as changed direction and your jaw is very liable to fall of at the first sight of the environment from the very moment you find the exit to the sewers, where the story starts; mountains, forests and lakes – all in the same vista. It is so...
